Earl Plegmund of Lincoln (857-) was the earl of Lincoln.

Biography
Plegmund, a member of the Anglo-Saxon House of Wuffing, was a vassal of King Burghred of Mercia, a powerful ruler from western England. Plegmund was taken care of by his wife Aethelswith of Mercia, who was at court in Tamworth, Warwick for most of her life. Plegmund's power was threatened by the arrival of the Great Heathen Army in 866, as the Viking king Halfdan Whiteshirt of Jorvik led forces south to invade his domains.
